{Warning
The Rear Camera Mirror
(RCM) has a limited view.
Portions of the road,
vehicles, and other objects
may not be seen. Do not
drive or park the vehicle
using only this camera.
Objects may appear closer
than they are. Check the
outside mirrors or glance
over your shoulder when
making lane changes or
merging. Failure to use
proper care may result in
injury, death, or vehicle
damage.Troubleshooting
See your dealer for service if a
blue screen and
3are
displayed in the mirror, and
the display shuts off. Also,
push the tab as indicated to
return to the automatic
dimming mode.
The Rear Camera Mirror may
not work properly or display a
clear image if:
.There is glare from the sun
or headlamps. This may
obstruct objects from view.
If needed, push the tab to
turn off the display.
.Dirt, snow, or other debris
blocks the camera lens.
Clean the lens with a soft
damp cloth, or if equipped,
with the Rear Camera
Washer. See Rear Window
Wiper/Washer 0116.
.The camera’s mounting on
the vehicle has been
damaged, and/or the
position or the mounting
angle of the camera has
changed.

288 Driving and Operating
Do not use ACC when driving
on steep hills or when towing
a trailer. ACC will not detect a
vehicle in the lane while driving
on steep hills. If the brakes are
applied, ACC disengages.
Disengaging ACC
There are three ways to
disengage ACC:
.Step lightly on the brake
pedal.
.Press*.
.Press5.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is
erased from memory if
5is
pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.
Weather Conditions
Affecting ACC
System operation may be
limited under snow, heavy rain,
or road spray conditions. Accessory Installations and
Vehicle Modifications
Do not install or place any
object around the front
camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front
camera view.
Do not install objects on top of
the vehicle that overhang and
obstruct the front camera,
such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be
transported on a roof rack
system. See Roof Rack
System
0109.
Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror can become
blocked by snow, ice, dirt, mud,
or debris. This area needs to
be cleaned for ACC to operate
properly. The vehicle headlamps may
need to be cleaned due to dirt,
snow, or ice. Objects that are
not illuminated correctly may
be difficult to detect.
If ACC will not operate, regular
cruise control may be
available. See
“Switching
Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control” previously in
this section. Always consider
driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.
For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle” under
Exterior Care 0416.Driver Assistance

the trailer guidance line is
active. Hitch Guidance is only
available in Standard View.
To check the trailer when in a
forward gear above 12 km/h
(8 mph), touch CAMERA on
the infotainment display to
view the rear camera. Touch X
to exit the view or it will be
removed automatically after
eight seconds.
{Warning
Use Hitch Guidance only to
help back the vehicle to a
trailer hitch or, when
traveling above 12 km/h
(8 mph), to briefly check the
status of your trailer. Do not
use for any other purpose,
such as making lane change
decisions. Before making a
lane change, always check
the mirrors and glance over
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
your shoulder. Improper use
could result in serious injury
to you or others.
Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped
with Front and Rear Park
Assist (FRPA). Under certain
conditions, the Park Assist
system can assist the driver
during backing and parking
maneuvers when the vehicle is
driven at no more than 9 km/h
(6 mph). An illuminated
indicator in the Park Assist
button indicates the system is
ready.
Sensors located in the
bumpers measure the
distance between the vehicle
and objects using sonar
technology. These sensors are
designed to detect certain
objects up to 2.5 m (8 ft)
behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in front
of your vehicle that are taller
than 25 cm (10 in).

Cadillac XT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16406251) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
Driving and Operating 295
Different environmental
conditions may affect whether
and how far the Park Assist
system can detect objects.
Keep the sensors clean of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush;
and clean sensors after a car
wash in freezing
temperatures. Sensors that
are not clean may not detect
objects or may cause the
system to alert when not
required.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is
no substitute for careful and
attentive driving. The Park
Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or
that are too close or too far
from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater
than 9 km/h (6 mph). To
prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Park Assist, always check
the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before
moving forward or backing.
How the System Works
The vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheatre-like
display on the cluster with
bars that represent the
estimated location of a
detected object and the
vehicle’s distance from the
object. As a detected object
becomes closer, more bars
light up and change color from
yellow to amber to red.
When an object is first
detected in the rear, one beep
will be heard from the rear,
or the driver's seat will pulse
two times, if equipped with
Safety Alert Seat. When an
object is very close, five beeps
will sound from the front or
rear (depending on the
object's location), or the driver's seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for front are
higher pitched than the rear.
Turning the System On
and Off
The Park Assist System can
be turned on or off using the
infotainment system. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select
“Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.
The
Xbutton is used to turn
on or off the Park Assist,
which also turns on or off the
Backing Warning and Reverse

Additional button presses will
change this setting. The
chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect
the timing of both the Collision
Alert and the Tailgating Alert
features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on
vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther
away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the
alert timing. The range of
selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
changing the FCA timing
setting automatically changes
the following gap setting (Far,
Medium, or Near).
Following Distance
Indicator
The following distance to a
moving vehicle ahead in your
path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the DriverInformation Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC)
0139. The minimum
following time is 0.5 seconds
away. If there is no vehicle
detected ahead, or the vehicle
ahead is out of sensor range,
dashes will be displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary
alerts for turning vehicles,
vehicles in other lanes, objects
that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not
seem to operate properly, this
may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the
windshield in front of the
rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the
vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
If equipped, the AEB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end
crashes. AEB also includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a
vehicle ahead in your path that
is traveling in the same
direction that you may be
about to crash into, it can
provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the
vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear.
Depending on the situation,
the vehicle may automatically
brake moderately or hard. This
automatic emergency braking
can only occur if a vehicle is
detected. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator
being lit. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System 0303.
The system works when
driving in a forward gear
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
